Re: New To This Breast Cancer Business

Hi Emily, I’ve just turned 30 and found out I have bc 3 weeks ago. I have just been to see the Fertility clinic and have a lumpectomy booked in for the 4th. I’m still undecided about chemo as the oncologist has said she Is 60/40 but I haven’t had any children yet so I’m petrified about Fertility. I’m from Huddersfield and feel the same as you everyone is great around me but just need some buddies who are going through the same thing x

I know you have posted on the Younger Women section but I just wanted to say hello and welcome to the forum, not really a place any of us would want to be but it is a place where you will get loads of help and support from the wonderful ladies on here who know exactly what you are going through and get you.

New To This Breast Cancer Business

So my names Emily, I'm 28 and from a little town called Wigan. I was diagnosed in July with stage 1 grade 3 triple negative breast cancer. Since my diagnosis I've had such an amazing support network with my family and friends but somehow can't help but feel like I'm massively alone at times. With my town being small the amount of women who are my age that are diagnosed is few and far between (not that I wish this upon anyone!) however I'm yet to meet anyone who I can 100% relate to.

I'd love to chat to others with the possibility of a meet up at some point in the future as even though my friends are an awesome group of people I'd love to make some new ones who know exactly what I'm going through. There's only so many times people can say "it'll be ok" to me!
